2.75 million is underwhelming for 6.5 acres of prime Manhattan land. I get the green space too but this is a very good lot to maximize.

Shame on a side note with the SI Wheel.

There should be a 2,000 ft (or more) iconic skyscraper here. The UN is one of the city’s iconic buildings, yet it was built on a site far from being that. The same applies here. This isca lot of open space for Manhattan, and the oppurtunity to put something grand here was wasted.
The casino proposal however, seems to be a waste of time. Could be just to bring more attention to the sight. But its a bad idea to bury the casino, and olace a giant ferris wheel on top.
